Sarah’s wedding

091

What a fabulous bridal party Sarah assembled for her big day. Lovely, supportive and so much fun. Take a glance at a few of her girls.  This is a great example of timeless, classic makeup. The emphasis is on the eyes but the skin also looks luminous and glowing.  Soft and ethereal, Sarah was so pretty [...]

Camille

This is Camille.  She’s a statuesque Jamaican woman that I had the pleasure of working with during a boudoir shoot by the AMAZING Heather Lahtinen. I’m so glad to finally showcase diversity on my website. Isn’t she fabulous? More to come of Camille….

Congratulations to Brooke on the impending arrival of her baby daughter, Sofia.

Jen & Brent

I had the pleasure of being a part of Jen’s wedding.  I love her choice of a birdcage veil and instantly knew she needed some KNOCK OUT smoky eyes to make it all come together. Playing up her divine milky skin tone, decolletage and perfect strawberry blonde hair color,  Jen was the picture of femininity. [...]

Amanda & Jonathan

It was my delight to have this wondrous face to work with.  This is Amanda.  She was as stunning as a bride can get.   I love her eyes.  She asked for a little more drama and I think it was the perfect balance of flawless and smoky. Look at those eyes.  She is seriously amazing. [...]

Carrie

Carrie is one of those rare women that is confident in her own skin, sweetly inspiring and without a doubt a fabulous girlfriend to have. I’m usually the one that listens and cajoles my clients into feeling comfortable before being [...]

Leena & Jason

This is Leena.  Striking, seductive and the quintessential glowing bride. I had the pleasure of working with Leena two times prior to her wedding day. Once for her bridal trial run and again for her boudoir session with Heather. So, it was no secret to me that Leena was going to be a stunning bride! [...]
